I'm also doing a 5.3 transplant but with a 4l60e into my 88 Monte SS. It'll be sporting a T70 turbo (Parish inspired). Good luck with the build and keep us posted.

I've tried e-mailing, PMing, and calling Jesse. No replies to both e-mail and PM, and the number provided on his website go straight to a full voicemail box..

This link should help. Or check the one in my sig. 74's share the basic subframe as my 71 and frojoe's 72.
I plan to do the wiring myself, but we'll see when the time comes. It looks like a big job, but if you're on a budget and have the time and desire, I say you've got only a bunch of man-hours (and maybe some sanity) to lose.

If you were to depin the circuits from the pcm connector that pertain to the transmission and had your vats disabled you will be fine.
If it is not programmed to a manual transmission you will just set circuit codes for things like shift solnoids and trans temp sensor. Your engine will not be in limp mode nor will your TAC be effected. If you have a check engine light connect (which i assume you wont?) you will never know.
All you HAVE to do to make the engine run/work is disable VATS
